Google Charts API shows blank screen with $(docume

Question

I've got several functions that instantiate various charts using Google Charts API.

When I call them without jQuery's $(document).ready method, everything works fine. But with that method, I'm looking at blank screen.

Why?

<script type="text/javascript" src = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src = "http://www.google.com/jsapi" charset="utf-8"></script>
function drawColumnChart1(){..some code..}
function drawColumnChart2(){..some code..}
function drawGeoChart(){.some code..}

//This works fine.
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["piechart", "corechart", "geomap"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(window.drawColumnChart1);
google.setOnLoadCallback(window.drawColumnChart2);
google.setOnLoadCallback(window.drawGeoChart);



//This doesn't work
$(document).ready(function(){
    google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["piechart", "corechart", "geomap"]});
    google.setOnLoadCallback(window.drawColumnChart1);
    google.setOnLoadCallback(window.drawColumnChart2);
    google.setOnLoadCallback(window.drawGeoChart);
});

UPDATE Here is the error I get in Firebug:

uncaught exception: [Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument"  nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)"  location: "JS frame :: http://www.google.com/jsapi :: Q :: line 20"  data: no]

Answer 1

Here is the paradigm I am using. Set a callback for the google.load method, and don't use the google.setOnLoadCallback at all (AFAIK this is not needed).

MyChart.prototype.render = function() {
    var self = this;
    google.load("visualization", 
                "1", 
                { callback: function() { self.visualize(); }, 
                  packages: ["corechart"] }
               );
}

MyChart.prototype.visualize = function() {

    var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(
    [
        ['Year', 'Sales', 'Expenses'],  
        ['2004',  1000,      400],
        ['2005',  1170,      460],
        ['2006',  660,       1120],
        ['2007',  1030,      540]   
    ]);

    var options = {
        title: 'Company Performance',
        hAxis: {title: 'Year', titleTextStyle: {color: 'red'}}
    };

    var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById("mychart_div"));    
    chart.draw(data, options);
}

This works for me:

google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"],   
        callback:function(){drawChart();}});
        //google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
        function drawChart() {
        console.log("enter draw");
              var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
   ['Year', 'value', { role: 'style' } ],
   ['2010', 10, ' color: gray'],
   ['2010', 200, 'color: #76A7FA'],
   ['2020', 16, 'opacity: 0.2'],
   ['2040', 22, 'stroke-color: #703593; stroke-width: 4; fill-color: #C5A5CF'],
   ['2040', 28, 'stroke-color: #871B47; stroke-opacity: 0.6; stroke-width: 8;  
     fill-color: #BC5679; fill-opacity: 0.2']
   ]);
              var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);

              var options = {
                title: 'Company Performance',
                tooltip: {isHtml: false},
                legend: 'none',
              };

              var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));

              chart.draw(view, options);

        }

Answer 3

you hav to call https://www.google.com/jsapi instead of http://www.google.com/jsapi

good luck

Answer 4

google.setOnLoadCallback with jQuery $(document).ready(), is it OK to mix?

is probably the closest answer, and Ryan Wheale's answer on the following may also be helpful.

Is it ok to use google.setOnLoadCallback multiple times?

Answer 5

For an alternate solution you can use 'autoloading' to include the packages you want in the script tag. This negates the need for "google.setOnLoadCallback".

see https://developers.google.com/loader/#AutoLoading for details.

So, you can do everything as you would normally from as jquery document ready event.

There is also a wizard that can set up a URL for you, but currently the link is broken. Here it is anyway: http://code.google.com/apis/loader/autoloader-wizard.html
